The Bafana Bafana star wasted no time making his mark in Denmark, finding the back of the net twice on his full debut as the Lions cruised to a 5-0 thrashing of Odense Boldklub on Sunday.
The South African, handed his first start since arriving from Mamelodi Sundowns, needed just five minutes to open his account before adding his second midway through the second half.
This has resulted in the Bafana Bafana star making the Danish Superliga’s latest Team of the Week, where he is also joined by teammate Junnosuke Suzuki.
After he had initially joined the club, the attacker made an impression in his new environment mostly through substitute appearances, of which he amassed three.
On the back of that, he was handed his first start for his new club and made an immediate impact with his brace.

Meanwhile, CEO Jacob Lauesen praised the South African, using him as an example to justify the club’s policy on new signings, with the club having secured his services at a price of €1.5 million (around R27.7 million).
